The WBVN was established primarily to encourage and develop best practice in animal welfare amongst veterinary professionals. We work with a wide range of stakeholder organisations to achieve this goal. We envisage a future when the WBVN will grow to include a wide variety of bodies drawn from other public, professional and academic fields, such as animal welfare NGOs, local government and educational bodies.
